Studies on the hemocompatibility of bacterial cellulose

Among the strategies to improve a material’s hemocompatibility, pre-coating with the tripeptide Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) is used to favor endothelialization thus lowering thrombogenicity. The blood compatibility of native and RGD-modified bacterial cellulose (BC) was studied in this work for the first time...
